Dirty Dancers Now Footloose - Texas D.A. declines charges against gyrating Chippendales Eight
The Smoking Gun ^ | February 26, 2007 | The Smoking Gun

FEBRUARY 26--Free the Chippendales Eight! A Texas prosecutor has decided not to press charges against a cadre of male adult dancers who were busted earlier this month at a Lubbock sports bar for dancing suggestively in front of 1100 female fans. The dancers, wearing tight leather pants and boxer shorts, were popped after they began gyrating and thrusting pelvises in a manner meant to cause "sexual gratification," according to police, whose Special Operations Unit shut down the performance at Jake's Sports Café. But while cops booked the dancers on a misdemeanor charge of violating the state's adult cabaret law, the Lubbock County District Attorney's office declined to prosecute the eight perfomers. Three other men--a Chippendales manager, a show promoter, and the bar manager--were also arrested after the abbreviated February 16 performance. They, too, will not be prosecuted. On the following pages you'll find Lubbock Police Department mug shots of the unjustly accused beefcake and the management trio. The dancers are reportedly considering whether to sue Lubbock authorities over the dirty dancing arrests.

Having rid their city of mexican invaders, gangbangers, political corruption, and all other assorted violent crime, Lubbock LEOs find other avenues for their energies...

Even the absurd shite loses its humor when it becomes the norm.

Man, those guys have some serious issues with hairstyles. It looks like they dried their hair with vacuum cleaners. Also, that "managerial" crew at the end of the photo's looks like a bunch of real winners.

Now, I want the 60 seconds of my life back that I wasted following that link, lol.

Yeah, as a resident I was pleased to know that instead of cracking down on the recent big time spike in murders here, that the city is now safe from male strippers. /s

Don't worry us boys have no fun here either, they shut down all but one strip club here and are going out of their way to close that one down. It's also a dry town.

We had a flap in Fredericton some years back, over male dancers. They went down to bikini briefs, but didn't go any further. Nevertheless, some butthead of a city councillor decided to make an issue of it. Anything to get his mug in the papers...

Yikes! Those are the Chippendales? Ick. They look more like a bunch of pre-verts from the state's sex offender list.

We can't have men dancers gyrating and thrusting pelvises in some smoky bar room full of consenting adults!

We need to keep that stuff where it belongs, with the high school cheerleaders.
